Interview: Louise Brealey/Molly

[boji]

In the Observer today, Louise Brealey does a brief interview where she talks about Molly loving Sherlock, her take on twitter and how fans basically write porn.

And I'm not kidding. From the interview I give you:

There's this whole world of fandom. What's fascinating is that they [the fans] write these stories about the characters. I initially thought they were just stories but they're not; they're basically porn.

After the first series, I was looking online to see what people thought of Molly and what came out was this story in which Molly got nipple piercings and had sex with Moriarty. At which point, I stopped reading.

The rest can be found here.

The Molly piercing fic was part of the LJ kink meme [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc_fic. It was the first Molly fic out of fandom

Thanks for this clarification, I appreciate it. This makes for a nice piece of fanlore.

I do think that fandom requires the fourth wall to be as rich and diverse as it is, because anything goes - and on the whole I applaud that.

What I did like in the interview was the way LB talks of twitter bringing tv closer to live performance, or giving it the immediacy of theatre.
